The Subpoenas

Two months after the first published reports of John Uhrin's votes on the Cavalier Hotel project, the FBI began a criminal investigation. Here are the subpoenas issued by the FBI and a federal grand jury. The most recent subpoena is published here for the first time. At the bottom of the section is a verbatim transcript of the July 2, 2013 vote authorizing the city's incentives for the Cavalier Hotel. The first speaker is Bart Frye, the developer of the East Beach luxury home project in Norfolk. Frye is a longtime employer of Uhrin's wife, and at the meeting he announces he will build homes homes on the Cavalier property. The final speaker is Uhrin, who makes a motion to approve the project minutes after Frye announces he is part of the project.
